I'm really really enjoying remote play on PS4. Wii U off TV play is also great. Are any of you guys hoping Microsoft joins the other two and gets an equivalent experience?

I hope Microsoft does some kind of remote play with controllers and Smartglass. Then i could make use of this thing

So apparently some PS4 owners are starting to experience overheating issues, in addition to the other hardware issues that have already been reported. The line on the top of the PS4 will begin to flash red, and then the console will shut itself off to prevent damage. The manual indicates that a fleshing red line is an overheating issue. I had concerns about overheating the moment I saw the first size comparison between the Xbox One and PS4. How could Sony possibly fit a more powerful SoC and an internal power supply into a case that's smaller than the Xbox One's, and actually manage to keep it properly cooled? Not only that, but both intake and exhaust are on the back of the console, that must mean that some hot exhaust is going to get sucked back into the intake, especially on closed-in entertainment center shelves. I just hope for PS4 gamers' sakes that this only happens during long gaming sessions, and that putting the console on an open shelf instead of closed-in shelf will keep it from overheating for longer periods.

ugh that sucks :/ Hopefully it is a minor issue and not widespread

I've heard Macs are great for video editing in general. I'm horrible with that kind of stuff so I stay far away from it xD lol

The first Xbox One hardware review is up (at least I think it's the first). It's a mostly positive review: http://www.heavy.com/games/2013/11/xbox-one-review-dashboard-user-interface-launch-games-controller-tv/

It begins!!

YES! The Xbox One has the right amount of good games, cool apps/features and ease of accessibility needed to make it the main gaming/entertainment device your home needs. BUY IT!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Pros
- Much better streamlined dashboard/UI
- Great selection and variety of launch games
- The controller is a lot better (THANK THE GAMING GODS FOR THAT NEW D-PAD!)
- The Kinect 2.0's body capture technology comes vastly improved
- Multitasking is a breeze thanks to the Snap feature
- Online gaming is a much better experience with Smart Match
- The apps all perform well
- Watching TV on your Xbox One just feels right
- Following your friends feels a lot easier to navigate than before
- The addition of media achievements and challenges is awesome

Cons
- The Kinect 2.0 voice recognition technology works...most of the time
- The SmartGlass app doesn't have a lot of readily compatible games/movies...yet
- Crimson Dragon and LocoCycle are letdowns

So what they are saying is that essentially there is NO REASON not to buy an Xbox One
